Game-exit bug is hampering hardcore

  • No, the connection between the client and the server is still instantly lost anyway. Which proves the server can’t retrieve connection with client anyway in many cases, regardless of the time remaining in game (2s, 8s or 40 seconds). So at least make it disconnect after 8 sec.

A very slight hiccup or cut makes your client disconnected and you won’t retrieve connection. (And to be clear, I’m not talking about latency which does not interrupt the connection)

  • And even if it was the case, a slider could let the player decide between 8 to 40 seconds in settings for example.

The thing is many new players don’t understand Hardcore has been very enjoyable for 20 years and take those 40sec as standard.

They are applying the 40sec rule as if d2 was like d3 and wow. Perhaps because they don’t want to tweak their server rules for each of their games.

In that case my thoughts still stay the same. 3-5 seconds sound better. :stuck_out_tongue: Anything more than that and it’s probably not going to matter anyway lol.

Some seem to think this is exclusive to panic hitting save and exit to survive.

I’ve lost guys with no enemies on the screen and I just decided to save and exit to get a coffee.

Left the game, still showed alive, no sign somethings odd, come back and told I’m dead when I try to login.

I don’t know if they fixed it as I play much less now but that delay was brutal. It was something I never encountered in D2 over decades.
